Character Modeling: Creating a Cartoon-Style Groundhog

Author Bart

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

  I guess he means the mound next to the groundhog which looks a bit like fresh poop.

      Is this some sort of in-joke?
      But yeah, the mound looks a bit too moist or plasticlike. Apart from that it is really nice work.
      I’ve seen the whole tutorial series. It is always entertaining and informative to watch Dave’s tutorials.

      (For the ones in the Chocolate header) — Those two don’t look like either. They do resemble oversize stale tootsie roll candies. Change the wrapper and zoom the camera out, and I suspect it will be very close.
